Life drawing class: 1

Life drawing is a discipline I have always loved doing. I love the challenge of having to draw the human form, as there are so many things you have to think about, proportions, perspective, shading and the use of line. I have been lucky enough to do abit of life drawing last year on my foundation course, but I am looking forward to doing a lot this year and improving.

My first life drawing class focused on doing lots of quick poses, with the shortest being 3 minutes and the longest being 25 minutes. Having to do these drawings very quickly made me not fuss about small details and the final outcome. Instead I used large gestural marks and curves which took on a very loose feel capturing a great sense of movement. I felt myself getting more confident as the hours went by, this is something I feel will also develop over the sessions.
